Some Tell Us Poem by Francis Duggan

Some tell us from life we receive what is our due
In some cases not all of this is often true
We sow the seeds of good karma when we give to receive
On such a philosophy i do believe
But having this said it is beyond me to explain
Why one person's loss is another one's gain
Some may tell you this is how life's meant to be
But why this should be so does seem puzzling to me
When i say the majority of the wealth of the Human World is owned by the few
You may say to this tell us something that is new
The greed of the wealthy minority poverty among many create
The poor in life have nothing to celebrate
The longest lived human life in time not a long span
On average the woman by a few years does outlive the man.
